Rewrite each expression without absolute value bars. |12 - π|

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recall that the absolute value of a number \(x\), denoted \(|x|\), is defined as \(x\) if \(x \geq 0\), and \(-x\) if \(x < 0\).
Identify the expression inside the absolute value bars: \(12 - \pi\).
Determine whether \(12 - \pi\) is positive or negative by comparing the values of 12 and \(\pi\) (approximately 3.14).
Since \(12 - \pi\) is positive (because 12 is greater than \(\pi\)), the absolute value expression \(|12 - \pi|\) is equal to \(12 - \pi\) without the absolute value bars.
Therefore, rewrite \(|12 - \pi|\) as \(12 - \pi\).

Absolute Value Definition

The absolute value of a number represents its distance from zero on the number line, always as a non-negative value. For any real number x, |x| equals x if x is positive or zero, and -x if x is negative.
